Yes and yes

Fleece gives excellent protection from carrot fly and other wee beasties but needs trenching into the ground a couple of inches to avoid leaving any spaces. Best to get extra width to allow for the trenching and to give room for the crop to grow.

Also great for fruit trees as you can protect the buds from the birds in spring and fruit in autumn.
